Flore, spine e lagrime in musica

​

A program of Italian music for voice and viols, filled with roses, thorns, lamentations and tears. 

Conceived for the baroque music festival in Timisoara, this collection of pieces by Marazzoli, Frescobaldi, Monteverdi, Kapsberger and Ferrari presents a lush tapestry of scenes, moods and colors.

The monumental collection of Iberian music known as the Flores de Música opens up to us in these new arrangements for viol consort and Spanish triple harp. 

Compiled in the first years of the 18th century, the 5 volumes present hundreds of pieces of music by mainly unknown composers, gathered by the monk, organist and composer António Martín y Coll. In this program we will present a wide selection of pieces, from tientos and fabordones, to song variations and dances. The influence of South American music is felt throughout the program, especially in the at the time novel dance forms of the canarios, chaconas, marionas and xacarás.

Music from the raucous life and career of Mrs Imer-Cornelys née Pompeati will be interspersed with composers she hired for the extravagant evenings at Carlisle House, including arias, songs and sonatas by Gluck, J.C. Bach, Abel, Arne, d'Aubat St. Flour and Storace.

A meditation for Christmas, to shed some light in the darkest time of the year.

Many of the songs sung around Christmas that people in the Northern countries see as their own actually originate in the great Lutheran traditions of Germany. We can therefore find variations on the same themes by great masters like Bach and Buxtehude, but also local versions in traditional styles. This program presents a quiet caleidoscope of traditional songs, hymns and variations, and arrangements by Bach and Buxtehude on some of the most beloved seasonal psalms in northern Europe.

An original transcription by Graun of one of his own trio sonatas, as well as a concerto by Roman and a sonata by Mozart combines in a program that will open up new repertoire for the viol, and shine a light on the possibilities of later repertoire and the interplay of the pianoforte with the viola da gamba in a both intimate and vivacious program.

We are proud to be able to perform in this, one of the most beautiful and interesting spaces in Belgium today. At la Bellone we will present a program that goes hand in hand with the building itself - half ancient, half modern.

Four viols present music from 16th-century Italy, as well as present-day Estonia and England. The dances of the ancient times blend with almost spiritual notes of today in an hour-long program that works to transport the listener into new worlds of sound and music.

The program includes unique arrangements and compositions with music by composers such as Sances, Marini and Trabaci, Pärt and Bryars.
